First Meeting of the Chess Club - Wednesday, 23rd September

Hello everybody. I’m glad to announce that the University Chess Club will resume its’ activity this Wednesday, the 23rd of September. For everybody who is interested in chess in the slightest bit, we are looking forward to meeting you from 8pm in Pleasance, the Baird Room. If you are new to the club, there will be arrows leading from the Pleasance bar to the location.

Looking forward to meeting you this Wednesday and having a game (or many ) of chess!

Management of the Chess Club

Next Meeting, and Last Before Easter – 25 March

Our next meeting will be on 25 March 2009 in the Braid Room at the Pleasance, beginning at 20.00. This will be the last meeting before Easter. Whether there will be meetings during the exam period will be decided by the new committee, which was elected at the AGM earlier this week — more on which to follow.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

Next Meeting 18 March: AGM

Our next meeting will be on 18 March 2009 in the Braid Room at the Pleasance, beginning at 20.00. The club night will run as usual, but we will hold our annual general meeting at some point early in the evening. We will, amongst other things, elect a new committee. The whole affair should only last ten or fifteen minutes, so please do come along if you are able.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

Next Meeting 11 March

Our next meeting will be on 11 March 2009 in the Braid Room at the Pleasance, beginning at 20.00. We look forward to seeing you then!

Annual General Meeting

We are planning to have our annual general meeting on Wednesday 18th March in the usual club-night slot. Please do come if you are able — it will only take quarter of an hour or so, after which we’ll be able to return to some chess.

We will elect a new committee. Our president and secretary are both leaving at the end of this year, and so they at least will need replaced. If you feel you have ideas for how the club should be run, this is your chance to put them into effect.

Next Meeting 04 March

Our next meeting will be on 04 March 2009 in the Braid Room at the Pleasance, beginning at 20.00. We look forward to seeing you then!

Next Meeting 25 February

Blitz Tournament – 18 February

At the club night this week, we will organise a blitz tournament. Games will probably be five minutes per player, and the tournament will be run either as an all-play-all match or according to the Swiss system, depending on numbers. The meeting will be in the Braid Room as usual — not in a local pub as was suggested last week, as we haven’t been able to get a room. The club will open at 20.00 as normal, but the tournament itself will start at around 20.30.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

Next Meeting 11 February

Our next meeting will be on 11 February 2009 in the Braid Room at the Pleasance, beginning at 20.00. We look forward to seeing you then!
